New stageing tool for FTD
Our group has developed a new stageing tool for the disease progression in frontotemporal dementia, called Frontotemporal Dementia Rating Scale (FRS). This novel tool was developed by Dr. Eneida Mioshi & Prof. John Hodges and allows clinicians to determine in which disease stage FTD patients are when they present at the clinic. This has crucial implications for potential treatment options in the future, as well as giving patients & their families a guideline of how the disease will progress.
The FRS has already received a lot of international attention, after it was published in the high-ranking American medical journal Neurology, including a podcast with Dr. Mioshi which can be downloaded from here (May 18 2010 issue).
The FRS can be downloaded for free from our website and is available to all health professionals. Click here to go to the download page
